U-Bolts and Retainer Clips

We stock a wide range of U-bolts and retainer clips for all truck sizes and can install them during your suspension service for added safety and performance.

Add-a-Leaf to Your Suspension

If your truck or vehicle is used for towing and the suspension isn’t holding up to the weight, we can add one or more leaves to strengthen it. Each added leaf increases your truck’s weight-carrying capacity and helps prevent sagging or bottoming out.

Re-Arching Your Tired & Sagging Leaf Springs

Over time, springs lose height, typically 1-2% each year, due to weight, road conditions, and driving style. We can re-arch your springs to restore your vehicle to its original height.

For the best results, this process is often combined with an add-a-leaf for extra support and durability.

Trailer Suspension Upgrade and Repair

Many trailers come with standard, low-capacity springs that wear out quickly under heavy use. We can upgrade your spring capacity to handle additional weight for improved weight capacity, longer lifespan, and better performance. 

If you’ve already pushed your stock suspension to its limits or have a broken spring, we’ll help you upgrade to heavy-duty components built to last.
